I wasn't to enthralled with the first half of new series but this episode is actually executed rather well and brings a new take on the classic go eat worms tale. The main character of this is a much better actor than the rest of the cast and is actually convincing. The effects in this are also the best and very stranger things like in presentation. It makes me wonder why they couldn't have utilized similar thematics and visuals for the other episodes. Maybe they had a different Director for this one and that could explain the possible difference in quality .If only the new series could've brought this type of overall feel.

Go Eat Worms

Warning: Spoilers
Episode four of Goosebumps had its highs and lows. I don't like anything with worms so I was legitimately grossed out by that, but I feel like they hadn't really developed Lucas at all prior to this episode so his chance in the spotlight seemed strange.
The idea of a giant worm monster terrorizing people is certainly a choice from a storytelling perspective and maybe just a bit too extreme here. But it was not bad television and if you watch it through the lense of certainly not expecting PBS Masterpiece Theatre then maybe you could actually enjoy the show. You just need to watch it that way though.
